One of my favourite book, "Atlas Shrugged" - my favourite "character" in that book - John Galt - "Who is John Galt" is the question - I read that book about 30 years ago and I still think about that question. And the fact the you include (Hee/Haw) is really interesting as well as I an a real country girl who grew up on a farm with horses…

And the fact the you include (Hee/Haw) is really interesting as well as I an a real country girl who grew up on a farm with horses and listening to country & western music.

I grew up with a country & western musician dad so the tube was always set to Hee Haw. I thought it would make for a silly pronoun in a world of utter silliness. I just finished my third time through Atlas Shrugged, this time via audiobook.
If my getting woker workplace ever decides to FORCE me to proclaim my pronouns (it was discussed for our new name badges being a requirement but has not yet happened--pretty sure they all know how it will go with me) I will definitely be requiring Thee/Thou (with correct capitals hahaha) so that thine own self can be true. Thanks!
If forced to proclaim pronouns, I had a few thoughts: "Grand High Exalted Mystic Ruler", "Field Marshall", "General", "Lord", "Your Highness", "Emperor", etc. Or, just a very, very long string of random characters that would exceed any systems's character limit (My preferred pronoun(s) can't have a character limit, can they?).
Great book! I read it in 2010 and I think that is when my enlightenment started. I have always been a conservative but that is when I started to notice all of the cracks in our government and society.
I watched hee haw with my mom. Loved it. Part of my memories growing up. Ironically the other day I was singing that song, “Where, oh where, are you tonight? Why did you leave me here all alone?
I searched the world over, and thought I found true love. But you met another and Pfft! you were gone!” Of course I sang it with my southern accent. The only one I do really well. I have admittedly been reminiscing about the past a lot lately because I’m not a big fan of the world as it is these days. Who can blame me?
I have the Rearden Metal bracelet (copy) from the Atlas Shrugged movie. Interesting how many people recognize what it is when I wear it. We are out there!

I prefer the Amish pronouns of Thee/Thou, but yours are cool too!

I just go with the classic model: I/Me/Mine
Still keeping ‘I Told You So’ as my pronouns.
Wouldn’t it work better as “you told me so” since it would be spoken by them? Love it!
🤣 Their pronouns, you told me so, walking away dejected, shoulders slumped into their hoodies.
I tell people my pronouns are Anarchy and Insurrection, they don’t know what to say
Quadruple like!!!

I also watched Hee/Haw as well....
For those afraid to read a book, the movie adaptation was fairly good adaptation of the novel, IMO.

This is a fun substack post on being TransRoyal:)https://www.pittparents.com/p/from-the-royal-formerly-known-as?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email
I’m a John Galt fan, too.
I’m wondering where he set up his secret world because I want him to let me in!
I think it exists in the hearts and minds of us kindred spirits. We can’t help but win this war!
A great book! Just looking at it would intimidate most of those
T V news addicts.
What was amazing about HEE HAW is that most of those in the know media geniuses predicted it would flop.
I was raised on a 75,000 acre cattle ranch. I still wear boots and a felt hat.
I just wish I had kept the small herd of cows I started in high school instead of wasting the money they brought to go to the wrong college.
I live in my boots. 🥰
